Not yet Bud. It's going to cost $500.00 shipping and all. But I will post pics soon as I get started on it. Why no Floaters? I strongly suggest using the Floaters Bud. I also have to get coil overs for my front end. Shoot fire. . There is a lot I have to get!

Hey. . Do you know if anyone else has Ladder Bar rear setups on their trucks?
Most of the guys I see on here are using 4 links.

Re: Project: "Full Metal Yellow Jacket" Build Thread

i think everybody is using their stock trailing arms instead of ladderbars since they are pretty much the same

Cool Re: Project: "Full Metal Yellow Jacket" Build Thread

No new updated yet.
But what I did find is the old renderings and figures of the fabrication me and my father did on my truck.
So I scanned them and posted it on here incase I lost it.

Well Bud,

I have been thinking alot about building big inch small block.

The quest for big cubes doesn`t have to lead to a big block anymore.
Now you can add cubic inches to your current engine without having to swap intakes, headers, engine mounts & other accessories.
By building a big cube small block you can have all the additional torque & horse-power of a big block without all the extra weight, expense & effort.

I have not completely decided on what I am going to do yet.

Thanks,

Yeah a good built small block will out run a big block and the price of building a BB any day. A friend of mine had a 409 in his 76 monza and ate BB's lunch all day long at the track
I used to work for an automotive machine shop i dont know it all but do know of some tricks

I always wanted a 427.....
So a 427 cubic-inch small block would be nice.
Been reading in my book.....

I looked at your build thread and think you would be able to make your bed tilt.
If you make a frame that attaches to the bottom of your bed and lays over the original truck frame it would work. You may have to raise your bed floor up for clearance but I think you could make it work.
I'm raising my bed floor up because my truck won't haul anything but a$$.
You want the pivot to be as low as possible to keep the front of the bed from getting into the back of the cab.

Re: Project: "Full Metal Yellow Jacket" Build Thread

Really nice truck! I'm diggin the yellow! I see you're debating on an engine to put in? Just a suggestion, but if you are going all out race I'd recommend a 377, destroked 400 with the 350 crank in it. Those bad boys like the revs! I was wondering if you wouldn't happen to know the width of the outside of your rear tires? I'm doing some big meats on the back of my '64 and want to get an idea of how wide I can actually go within my bedsides.

The tires are Mickey Thompson 29x15.50-15LT Tube Type.
Any wider and I will have to start cutting.
Now remember that the Frames are different from a '62 and a '64.
Is yours a stepside or a Fleeters?

Re: Project: "Full Metal Yellow Jacket" Build Thread

I have a fleetside, my only concern is how wide I can go within the fenders. I just ordered my wheels 4.75" BS 12" wide and my axle is 57" WMS to WMS, so that makes for around 75" wide when I account for tire bubble. I'll clear the frame rails just fine, but its the bedsides that concerns me.

Thanks Bud,

My dad keeps telling me I need to leave the engine alone.
If I want a Mild/Wild engine just get another one and build it or buy a crate.
The Engine I have now is a great street engine built for longevity and nostalgia.
I do love 427 Big blocks....
Large Bore with Short Stokes!!!!!

But finding one cheap and not wore slap out or raced is rare.
